The Sakuragaoka neighborhood is a peaceful residential area. An interesting local fact is that the area's name, meaning "Cherry Hill," reflects the pleasant, hilly topography of western Kobe. For recreation and tourism, residents are within a reasonable driving distance of the iconic Arima Onsen, one of Japan's oldest and most famous hot spring resorts, nestled in the nearby Rokko Mountains.
